First single, “BB is so cruel” never went over well at all. Rumors were made however.
Second single “We offered a lot, but still got let down” was a humbling experience for them. It sounded like a bologna sandwich with cardboard instead of dough.
Third single “I’m (not) a tight ass” is playing everywhere currently, but not going over very well.

Doesn't matter what he says though, apparently the GM makes all the roster decisions, including who plays.

That is a good breakdown of the difference between early preseason, middle preseason, and ideally what the next step is....instead of generically, he isn't ready....or just play him. The WHY? is important

I know alot of people are going to be happy with moving Onwenu outside, count me out on that.....one injury leads to three changes, that is bad for the oline.

Onwenu looks good at RT because our other options for a couple of years have been bad, he belongs on the inside.

Once the season starts the practice schedule will be cut way back in favor of recovery and installation meetings, etc.
We'll see what Mayo says about our starting QB soon, but if it is Jacoby then I have to wonder how many reps Drake will
get with the ones and whether his improvement will be slowed.
One scenario that I find plausible is that they let the vet start and ride with him until he plays himself out of a job. If we
start 0-4 and he is making turnovers and unable to hit open guys then I believe they'll make the switch. Another is that
we are way behind at halftime and bring Maye in with the ones as a relief pitcher to see if he can move the team better.
I suppose Sunday night won't really change the plan either way. because it strikes me we seem bound and determined to make this
a gradual transition for Maye and our longer-term benefit to the extent that it is possible. It's delaying the inevitable and
I don't hate that plan.
agree on the "gradual transition". when the games are real, the 1's are in all the time, and teams are game planning, the O might have some serious growing pains, which will likely mean real pains for whoever is the QB. Brissett is the better "pinata" to start the season. I hope I'm wrong and the O is solid but will watch and see

Wolfe will have the say on "who" get invited in for tryouts or drafting. He ain't gonna have any say about who gets to play every week. The minute he does, every coach on that staff can walk out and never look back. Coordinators tell the HC who they think should play and they all come to an agreement. Wolfe has nothing to do with those evaluations.
If you beklievce he does, I have some property down here in the everglades that might interest you.

So Mayo not only doesn't get to buy the groceries, he can't even decide the recipe?

Exactly! And it’s absolutely fine by me.
It makes me like the Mayo pick for HC more and more. He is really just a figurehead. I’m sure he has input with the defense, but the offense is not being left to him.

Otoh, don't you want your best players out there on the field?
Ideally, Onwenu is the RG. But if you don't have a RT who can hold up against a rush, wouldn't you rather have Onwenu at RT and his capable backup at RG to be on the field?
I mean, Robinson may not be as good as Onwenu at RG but he may not miss by much so the total value may be higher than having Onwenu at RG and a turnstile at RT.
Win/win to me as long as the goal is to get or develop a pair of solid OTs for the future.

do you want a guy in a position where he is really good or in a position where he's better than average? i think putting him in the "better than average" for more than emergency/spot duty is weakening the whole operation vs. having positions of weakness that are known and needing to account for them. defenses are going to have an easier time moving their guys around to exploit matchups when NONE of the ol is at their best positions.
imo of course and i'm hardly an expert.

For me it's a problem of the player who is the weakest link because defenses will pound that player into submission.
Additionally, consider the Pats during their dynasty years almost always only had slightly better than avg offensive lines who were just good enough to do the job.
QB play, coaching and scheme made them better than they actually were individually. To me, the best of those dynasty OLs were the very earliest ones, from the 1st to the 3rd SB win.
They had no weak links. Some of those OLs later on were pretty shaky.

Nah, it’s being left to a guy who hasn’t called offensive plays in what 14+ years?
